It turned out that the person who said so bluntly was Dr. Guanglu Wei Huan. He was known to be smart and had many plans in the Yecheng incident. Although Ran Min was unhappy when he heard this, he asked patiently: "Doctor Guanglu, why are you doing this?
Word?"
"Your Majesty." Wei Huan kowtowed and said, "Although your Majesty's favorite general Li Tekang has helped eliminate Li Nong and help the civil strife, there is nothing wrong with loving him. However, the meaning of "Spring and Autumn" is: 'all the summers within are outside.
Yi Di. 'Those who get rid of Li Nong hardly worry about themselves!"
Ran Min said angrily: "I want to accept the gangsters and use them for my own use, but why do you say this to disturb the minds of my monarch and my ministers?"
Wei Huan did not shy away from Ran Min's majesty and said: "Your Majesty, I know that Li Nong has betrayed his master and betrayed his kindness, hurting the hearts of your Majesty's family. However, the chaos in Yongjia is not far away. If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!"
Your Majesty, don't you hear the order to kill Hu?"
Ran Min stood up from his throne and said angrily: "Come here, drag down and behead this person who is causing trouble to our kings and ministers in the Kingdom of Wei."
At this time, two sergeants outside the palace took him out. While holding him, Wei Huan shouted: "Your Majesty, because of your temporary gain, has caused trouble for the whole world. Our country, Wei, is in danger, in danger."
At this time, Shen Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Wei Jian is also a person who has the merit of following the dragon. If he is killed, the country will be shaken. Please forgive him for the time being."
At this time, Wang Tai also stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign troubles in Wei have not been eliminated. If we kill the heroes for no reason, I am afraid that all the ministers will feel uneasy."
At this time, Li Tekang, who was lonely and silent on the side, saw that all the ministers were forgiving, so he followed the trend and said to Ran Min: "Your Majesty expresses your love, I am so grateful. However, Wei Huan has outstanding achievements. If he is a villain, he can conquer the world by himself."
I am terrified, and I beg your Majesty to take back your order."
At this time, Ran Min changed his mind slightly and said: "What you all said is true. I heard that the Yan Kingdom is now moving south with great force. Because of its open-mindedness, many exiled scholars and common people returned home with a heavy burden. This Murong family can
If you can do it, I can do it too."
At this time, Ran Min took out an urgent report from the imperial case and said: "Now the thieves are quite powerful. Zhao Emperor Shi Zhi has surrendered his title and begged for advice from the Yan Kingdom. He wants to come to Yan and Zhao to fight for decades. After three generations of kings, Shi Zhi
For someone to beg for help with his face down, his heart should not be underestimated."
Ran Min then sent out an urgent report and asked the servants to circulate it to everyone.
After Shen Zhong finished reading, he stepped forward and said: "I am stupid, but your Majesty's ambition is so great that I cannot match it."
"Shen Situ, when will you be able to express compliments?"
"I have sent Chang Wei as our special envoy to the State of Wei to Yanying. I just hope that we can delay it for a while. However, now that the great war is going on, the only two words in the world are 'farming' and 'war'. I want to do my best.
The soldiers from Yecheng attacked the Xiang Kingdom from the north and wiped out the remnants of Jie and Zhao in one fell swoop, and wiped out the powerful enemies in the outside world. They then withdrew their troops to support the people and preserve the country."
"Your Majesty has foresight and foresight, and I admire him for that."
All the ministers said: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Ran Yin."
Prince Ran Yin came out of the queue and replied: "My son and minister are here."
"The title belongs to your great Chanyu, and I will accept the Jie, Di, and Qiang tribes of our Wei Kingdom to enrich our military strength."
"My son, I accept my order."
"Wang Tai."
"The end will be here."
"I will command your troops and horses to stay in Yecheng in case of any eventuality."
"As commanded."
"I hope to unite our troops and attack the country of Xiang from the north in three days. All dear ministers will keep their duties and withdraw from the country."
Following a high-pitched scream from the chamberlain, the courtiers all headed back home.
In the alleyway, Hu Mu, the general of chariots and cavalry, rushed up and said jokingly to Shen Zhong: "Now that Shen Situ is ranked first among the officials, it is because of his clever words and tricks."
"General Hu, don't you know that our Lord is becoming more and more arrogant in his desire to unite the four seas?"
Hu Mu just cupped his hands and said, "What Shen Situ said is true. However, although the Hus are attached now, I'm afraid that if our Wei army comes out lightly, someone in the city will do something strange?"
When Jiang Qian, an old member of Ran Min's family and now a high-ranking general, came over, Hu Mu hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "General, our ministers are still a little worried. Now that our Wei State's military strength is strong, the Hu people may force
Due to the situation, you have not given me your heart, so there is a deceit in it."
"You two don't know something." Jiang Qian came closer and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to Li Tekang now. Li Tekang contributed a lot to Li Nong's rebellion. The top priority is to pacify the remnant Zhao and defeat the Yan State.
If the foreign invasion is calmed down, we, the Wei State, will have nothing to worry about. Besides, the guard general Wang Tai who is staying in Yecheng is well versed in military matters, so we should have nothing to worry about."
"Who is talking about me?" At this moment, a rich voice came from behind.
The three of them said in unison: "Meet General Wang."
Wang Tai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are all your Majesty's ministers, so there is no need to be polite."
I saw Hu Mu step forward and said: "General Wang has been with your Majesty for a long time, so he must be loyal. However, I am worried that those Hu people have only been with me for a short time. If they are included in the service, they may be included in each camp.
.”
"What are you afraid of? Those barbarians have long been scared out of their wits." Wang Tai said indifferently, "Now that your Majesty has entrusted me with the defense of Ye City, I will serve you wholeheartedly and eliminate your worries for your Majesty. There are many soldiers in the army.
A few beards don't matter, you are worrying too much." After saying that, he just left everyone and walked out of the palace gate.
At this time, Jiang Gan only said lightly: "Your Majesty said that if Wang Tai can defend this city, he will do half the job. General Wang has been a general of the guard for many years, and only one of them has the great merit to be promoted to the prime minister. This time he can alone
When you lead an army to defend the capital, how can you not do your best for fear that others will take half of the credit?"
Jiang Qian suddenly changed his expression, "If you talk too much, you will miss the mark. You two take your leave."
Shen Zhong only smiled and said: "That's it. It seems that we, the old ministers of Shi Zhao, can only be cautious in our words and deeds."
Hu Mu said worriedly: "We must be cautious in major affairs of the country. I see that the hearts of others are more arrogant than your Majesty's. Only the ministers of the state can be safe. When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose money. Our country, Wei, is in danger."
Hu Mu only bowed his hands to Shen Zhong and said, "Shen Situ, take your leave."
Seeing Hu Mu walking in a hurry, Shen Zhong hurriedly asked: "General Hu, where are you going?"
Hu Mu only said secretly: "Go to the Tingwei Office to visit Wei Huan."
Shen Zhong was anxious, "Your Majesty will not listen to you now, so don't get into trouble."
"Shen Situ is the head of the hundred officials and is the prime minister of the government. The Wei State cannot apply for Situ. I understand the matter of Wei Huan." After saying this, Hu Mu said goodbye to Shen Zhong and left.
After retreating back to the palace, Luan Jia went straight to the Jinhua Hall, the emperor's sleeping quarters, and only passed through the palace gate of the inner court. Ran Min only said: "Go to the Jiaofang Hall."
I heard the chamberlain next to me say hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Jiaofang Palace is stained with blood and is stained with blood. If you don't have time to clean it up, I might stain your Majesty's eyes."
Ran Min just said softly: "It doesn't matter."
The chamberlain beside him stopped talking and only ordered the palace attendants carrying the royal chariot to move to the Jiaofang Hall.
This Jiaofang Hall was originally a residence for newlyweds. Now that the Wei State was established, many things were going on. The renovation of the former main hall, Taiwu Hall, had already taken a lot of manpower. In addition, Ran Min was not very fond of women, so Jiaofang Hall has been closed since last time.
No one has repaired it since Shi Xiyun's death. The walls, corridors, and columns still have traces of swords and arrows and stains of blood from that day, making them look particularly bleak.
The imperial chariot only stopped outside the palace gate. Ran Min slowly stepped off the imperial chariot and stood in front of the palace for a long time.
Ran Min suddenly said: "As long as Li Tekang comes with me, you don't have to follow me."
The servants were only confused and did not dare to hear more. Only Li Tekang stepped forward to help him carefully and followed Ran Min into the Jiaofang Hall.
The furnishings in Jiaofang Hall are still as they were back then, the green house is in ruins, the pool of blood on the ground is black, and the window lattice is full of holes that were penetrated by bows and arrows.
Ran Min just walked slowly forward in the palace.
The sun was now slanting to the west, and only golden light was projected from the holes in the window lattice, setting off the dust in the hall like sharp arrows piercing Ran Min and Li Tekang.
The light turned and only shone on the gemstone on the handle of the knife on Li Tekang's waist, which looked particularly bright.
"Ding", Ran Min instantly pulled out his saber and threw it to Li Tekang. Li Tekang caught it with his quick eyes and quick hands.
Ran Min turned his back to him and asked: "I have learned that Hu Ling killed many people that day. Your father and your mother were both killed by the swords of my begging army. Do you hate me?"
Li Tekang just stood there, holding the knife tightly and looking at Ran Min's back in silence.
"Say!" Ran Min asked sternly.
Li Tekang slowly approached Ran Min holding only the knife, holding the knife slightly.
He was only ten feet away from behind Ran Min. "Dang". The knife in Li Tekang's hand fell.
Ran Min continued to ask: "Why don't you avenge your parents' blood feud? Now there is a great opportunity, are you going to be such an unfilial person?!"
"No!" Li Tekang said loudly.
At this time, Ran Min slowly turned around, and Li Tekang stood in front of him, looking straight at King Wei.
"I promised Shi Xi in my heart not to harm you. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
"Bang, bang, bang." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the guards outside had surrounded the palace. It turned out that the sound of the saber falling to the ground had alerted the guards outside the palace.
I saw Zhang Ai and Sun Wei, the guards of the imperial palace, Hu Ben Zhonglang, rushing towards me. "My rescue is too late."
Zhang Ai only said to others, "Take this person down."
The imperial guard stepped forward to tie Li Tekang up, but Ran Min just said: "Let him go."
Sun Wei said anxiously: "Your Majesty, these thieves have evil intentions and cannot be allowed to stay."
"Let go!" Ran Min said sternly.
The Wei Lord's majesty was inviolable and his reputation in the army was quite high. Without waiting for the commander to speak, the guards just let go after hearing this.
Li Tekang saw that everyone was surrounding him but not joining him, so he handed over to Ran Mingong and left the palace.
Everyone watched Li Tekang's retreating figure silently. At this moment, there was a sudden "ding" sound, and they saw the screen behind the palace suddenly hit. They saw three or five swordsmen ambush behind them. Ran Min was heartbroken.
Horrified, when he was about to issue an order, he saw Zhang Ai kneeling down and saying, "I have decided on my own initiative to set up swordsmen and axes in this hall to prepare for any eventuality."
"Pah." Ran Min just hit him and roared: "Why is it like this?"
Sun Wei did not shy away and said straightly: "Since ancient times, Hu and Han have not been in conflict with each other. The distinction between monarch and ministers is related to one person. The duty of the general is to protect His Majesty, and he does not dare to let His Majesty put himself in danger."
At this time, Ran Min picked up the saber on the ground and just wanted to chop it at Sun Wei.
"I beg your Majesty to have mercy." The sergeants around him knelt down to beg for mercy.
Zhang Ai also said: "Your Majesty, General Sun is also a loyal master. I followed Wang Tai into the Jiaofang Palace that night. I saw Li Tekang looking a little strange. If I think about it carefully, something unexpected happened that night. The causes and consequences are also unknown.
Ying Xiangjia is aware that His Majesty is using an unknown foreigner in such a high regard, which makes my subordinates feel uneasy."
Ran Min just stood quietly in the palace, "I have betrayed her, and I will never betray her trust." After saying that, he went straight out of the palace.
Three days later, outside Anyang Pavilion, Ran Min had already started begging for work, and the number of surrendered Hu people, totaling more than 300,000, sent all the generals in the capital to attack the country of Xiang in the north. At this time, the army was carrying banners, drums, and chariots.
Yuli.
Ran Min only climbed up to the high platform to look out, and said with a smile: "Although the Shi family occupied the Central Plains back then, it was no longer as prosperous as it is today."
Jiang Qian, who was standing next to him, said: "Your Majesty is a wise and holy warrior. How can the leader of the previous dynasty be comparable to your Majesty? Your Majesty will lead the army like sweeping fallen leaves in autumn. This Xiang Kingdom will be broken in a day. I respectfully wish that your Majesty will wipe out the bandits and unify the world."
"I wish your Majesty to wipe out the captives and unify the world." The ministers bowed their heads and congratulated.
Ran Min was very proud at this time. He rode his Zhulong horse and looked around in front of the queue. After returning to the place, he told Wang Tai behind him:
"If I want to pacify the remnants of the Jie clan, Yecheng is the most important. You must guard this city."
"I will fulfill my mission."
Ran Min only saw the eldest son Ran Yin at the front of the queue. He was now at the age of "hair binding". He was seven feet tall, but he was a young man with a handsome hair at the front of the queue.
Ran Min rode up to Ran Yin and dismounted. Ran Yin was about to salute but was stopped by Ran Min.
"Yin'er, now that my father is on an expedition, there are many things going on in the capital. There are kings and generals in military affairs and Shen Situ in literature. You should learn more from them."
"Father, at my age I am already leading an army alone. I would rather be a centurion than a scholar. I am willing to lead horses and whips for my father."
"Haha, my son is so strong." Ran Min said with a smile, "Yin'er, soldiers do bad things, and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Besides..." Ran Min looked at Dong and his youngest son Ran Zhong next to him and said, "Wait for me.
After the world is pacified, you can be an emperor of peace."
"Li Tekang." Ran Min suddenly shouted.
"The villain is here." Li Tekang replied.
"While I am away from the capital for a few days, I hope that you can work diligently with other ministers on political affairs. We, the Wei Dynasty, will appoint you according to your talents. If the city of Ye is safe, you will also make great contributions."
"Fortunately for the King of Wei, I will go through fire and water without hesitation," Li Tekang said.
"That's it..." Ran Min was about to get on his horse. Suddenly he heard a man behind the officials, disheveled and with disheveled hair, rushing over in a panic. He rushed towards His Majesty.
"General Hu, how dignified are you?" Shen Zhong next to him hurriedly stepped forward to hold him.
"Your Majesty, Wei Huan is crying and bleeding in prison. I hope your Majesty will accept your advice." After saying this, Hu Mu took out a blood letter on his chest and gave it to your Majesty.
Ran Min just passed by in a hurry, and then said angrily: "It's just nonsense. I want to pacify the world and recruit all kinds of barbarians to be my subjects in Wei. How can you mess up the morale of our army at this time?"
"Your Majesty, Doctor Wei really speaks from the bottom of his heart." Hu Mu then glanced at Li Tekang, and then said to Emperor Wei.
"The barbarians and dragons are all mixed up, harboring evil intentions. Your Majesty accepts them all without distinguishing between them. He is afraid that the army will come out lightly and the country will collapse."
"What a mistake!" At this time, Wang Tai stepped forward and said, "Now our tens of thousands of Yecheng defenders are warriors who have fought a hundred battles, and I am guarding it personally. Why should we be afraid?"
Then Wang Tai only knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will hand over the capital of Ye to you, and I will guard the city of Ye like a golden city."
"That's right." Ran Min said immediately, "Doctor Wei's crime of disturbing our army is unforgivable. We, Wei, Hu and Han are all one body. If we don't understand the canonical punishment, how can we obey me?"
Ran Min shouted: "Come here, since Doctor Wei wants to die, I will give him a happy life."
Ran Yin wanted to advise: "Your Majesty, I am thinking of Dr. Wei...".
Shen Zhong just stopped him and said, "Stop talking, the Lord has made up his mind."
